Maybe on twitter and weird internet corners, people are eating up the hand gesture and arguing about it, but among left-wing journalists, they either are saying they don't buy it as intentional or are pointing out that symbol or not, she works for an admin that enacts racist policies anyway.

E: my take is out of date and it is now in some real news this morning; nevermind, 2018 is dumb.

so nestle is definitely doing slavery

No, you see, just several parts of their supply chain that they say isn't directly them. And also they've issued a statement condemning the practices! But please don't force them to report on the slaves and child workers in their supply chain. Then they might have to raise prices on you.

The Op-Ed motivations are slightly odd. Clearly proud of stuff like the tax cuts, DOD funding, other generic conservative points. Says they manage the president and work despite him to get these conservative things through. Says president overreacting or acting impulsively is a problem. Knows full well the president is sensitive to leakers.

So what’s the motivation to even write it? Simple self-importance? Wanting a “normal” conservative job in case he/she gets canned?

In SCOTUS talk, there's this tidbit:

List of Democratic SCOTUS nominees confirmed by a GOP senate since 1895:
Rufus Peckham in 1895

List of GOP SCOTUS nominees confirmed by Democratic senate since 1895:
Thomas, Souter, Kennedy, Stevens, Rehnquist, Powell, Blackmun, Carswell, Haynsworth, Burger, Stewart, Whittaker, Brennan

Of course, some of those GOP Presidential picks really didn't work out the way the nominating presidents expected.

This is the dumbest thing. Who even does something like this?

Someone who's super racist, loves attention from the alt-right internet crowd, or both.

The logic of the "trolling" from the alt-right people is pretty tortured.

:chud: "Hey, what if we, a bunch of known racists, pretended to be racist by doing this hand symbol?"
:godwin: "Haha, that would trick people into thinking we were doing a racist hand symbol when really we're racists doing a normal hand signal!"
:chud: "lol, here we all are doing this hand symbol. And they're saying it's racist. Idiots, we got them!"

Why was this treated as a disciplinary issue? Shouldn’t they have arrested her?

Something about how the cops have to let time pass for the investigation before they can make any arrests.

You know, just like if I shot my neighbor to death and then said "Oopsie Poopsie, I did a Shootsie" they wouldn't arrest me immediately.

Yeah, actually, most states you can hold someone 24-72 hours before having to actually arrest and charge them, and charges regarding death are only brought after consulting with the local prosecutor.

Yes. If she’s being held in a holding cell at the PD, it would be good to know. The Dallas PD could save themselves some ire by making that clear that she’s being treated like anyone else if she is, instead of saying she’s on leave.

When you get so angry at a 15-year old student driver backing up too slowly in a parking lot that you decide to talk a bunch of poo poo to her mom, then refuse to back down even when an armed and obviously physically stronger dude tells you to gently caress off:

There’s longer video floating around of the whole exchange. That white dude was a loving idiot and it was super satisfying seeing him get punched, but that other guy escalated that poo poo by drawing his pistol, even if he didn’t point it.

Since you are using your Elite Tactical Assessment:

The guy who wins the fight accurately assessed that there were people video taping it all and that the dude who was talking poo poo to the woman was a loving clown who couldn't win a fight against a stuffed animal. I think he was fine. And yeah, I watched the whole video. It's obvious who's in control the entire time, and it sure as poo poo isn't "dude who gets decked in the face"

Probably not, and I didn't realize you didn't know that the guy made verbal threats prior to the draw.

But there are a whole lot of people discussing this poo poo online who tend to think cops shooting a black guy holding his wallet are reasonable while being very, very upset that this man didn't do everything he could to placate Angry Yelling Dude and instead ended up punching him, so my hackles are up a bit.
